I have a recurring soreness, with numbness and tingling, in my upper back between the spine and the left shoulder blade. I think it is caused by my job. I am trying to decide if I want to report it to my employer as an on the job injury, and use worker's comp to get it checked out and possibly treated, or just use my regular health insurance. I'm also wondering what the ramifications will be for future treatment of this soreness, if I retire or get laid off before medicare, and get cobra, and then private health insurance. I'm 57 now. I am hoping that worker's comp would still cover it, after I retire, separate from any health insurance I would have, and by using worker's comp, would also have no deductibles, copays or exclusions to worry about. Thanks for any input.
